Answer: 4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount each dimension was increased by be x.

Now we can set up a equation.

(2+x)(4+x) = 48

8 + 2x + 4x + x^2 = 48

x^2 + 6x - 40 = 0.

We can factor the left side of the equation.

(x+10)(x-4) = 0.

Therefore, x equals either -10 or 4. Since you can't increase a dimension by a negative amount, x must equal to 4.

A fruit stand has 200 apples. They order 19 bags with 12 apple each. They sell 42 bags that have 8 apples each. The owner says t

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The owner's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 320 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of apples already available with Owner = 200

Number of bags of apples ordered with 12 apples each = 19

Number of apples ordered = 12 $\times$ 19 = 228

Rounding off 19 to 20:

Number of apples ordered = 12 $\times$ 20 = 240

Around 240 apples were ordered.

Number of bags of apples with 8 apples each, sold = 42

Number of apples sold = 42 $\times$ 8 = 336

Rounding off 42 to 40, number of apples sold = around 320

Therefore, 80 more apples were sold than that of apples bought.

So, according to the estimate, there will be 80 fewer apples left than they started with.

Correct answer is:

The owner's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 320 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with

A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 yellow marbles, and 10 orange marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the b

VladimirAG [237]

Total Marbles = 8 + 6 + 12 + 10 = 36

Probability the marble is blue = 8/36

Inverse this to get the probability of the marble not being blue

Probability of the marble not being blue = 28/36 = 7/9
